Investigating the Effectiveness of a Moving-Target Oriented Opportunistic Routing Algorithm on RoboCup Rescue Simulations

Voice and radio communications are a means of sharing information between agents in RoboCup Rescue Simulations. However, since this is limited to voice communication in some scenarios, it is necessary to establish a communication system for environments in which voice communication is disrupted or delayed. The architecture used in this situation is called a delay-tolerant network (DTN). The method for focusing on moving agents is efficient because every agent moves, searches and rescues in RoboCup Rescue Simulations. Therefore, we discuss applying a moving target oriented opportunistic routing algorithm in vehicular networks (MORN) to the RoboCup Rescue Simulation. At first, we consider the validity of the MORN in disaster relief. Secondly we implement rescue agents by using the MORN and confirm the efficiency. As the results, we confirmed the possibility of the MORN in RoboCup Rescue Simulation and discuss the problems which have been found from some experiments as future works.
